John Wall Goes 40+ For The Second Straight Game..."The Legend of Lorenzo Brown"...Leslie Soars in Rankings

John Wall stepped into a league of his own on Friday night, as he scored 40+ points for the second straight game in a victory over Flora McDonald. With C.J. Leslie not playing, Wall had to step up his game. His 42 points were enough to give Word of God a 97-91 victory. In the past two games Wall has improved his scoring average by over 4ppg. He is now averaging 22.2ppg.

We are unsure why Leslie didn't play in the game, but we will try to find out. Also, it should be noted that Bishop Daniels had one of his best games of the season, scoring 18 points. Word of God, who was at one point 7-7, has won 6 straight games to improve to 13-7 on the year.



Centennial almost destroyed their #1 ranking on Friday night. If they had lost to Roswell it would have been a tremendous upset. But at the end of the night the team with the "best player on the court" won the game. Lorenzo Brown's 29 points, including the game winning basket with 16 seconds left on the clock, led Centennial to a 69-67 victory.

Beaconcast.com's opening line to their write-up of the game was perfect. It read:

"The legend of Lorenzo Brown continues to grow."

Also in the write-up, Coach Whitehart (Centennial's coach) was quoted as saying:

"“If [Lorenzo's] not a McDonald’s All-American then they need to rethink the selection process,” said Whitehart."

Also, ESPN has just updated their Super 60 rankings for the class of 2010. Let's just say that Leslie must have made an impression on the people up in Bristol because he jumped from the 53rd spot to the 19th.
